TRIANGLE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN, PETERSON AFB
This Area Development Plan for the Triangle Area of Peterson AFB was acknowledged by the
Federal Planning Division (FPD) of the American Planning Association as the best ADP for 2005.
The relocation of AAFES and DeCa necessitated this study to identify redevelopment alternatives
for this vacated space considered the community heart of the installation. Alternatives were presented
as conceptual plans with benefits, drawbacks, and implementation strategies. These concepts were refined
through an interactive charrette environment.
Jury Comments for this award winning project are as follows: "One of the key achievements of this project
is the way it handles various urban issues and responds to site-specific features. Also, this project is
unique in the way it explored different development scenarios outlining potential uses for the site. An in-depth
site analysis and traffic study provides direction for the redevelopment of this site. A strong design concept,
which includes symmetry, visual focal points, and axial avenues offset by radial roadways, is the strength of the
project. Design details are provided at both macro and micro level. This project creates a functional mix of design
and planning techniques by including the symbolic architectural character of the buildings and salient site characteristics."
